Ingredients
Scale
- 3 to 4 pounds beef rump roast
- 4 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 large onion, chopped
- 2 cups beef broth
- 2 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tsp salt
- ½ tsp black pepper
- 1 tsp dried thyme
- 2 tbsp cornstarch
- 2 tbsp water
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 325°F. Place rack in the center of the oven.
- Rub roast with salt, pepper, garlic, and thyme. In a hot skillet or Dutch oven, sear in olive oil until browned on all sides.
- Add chopped onion around roast. Pour in beef broth and Worcestershire sauce. Cover tightly with lid or foil.
- Roast in oven for 2 to 2½ hours, until desired doneness (135°F for medium rare).
- Remove roast and let rest 15 minutes. Strain pan drippings into a saucepan.
- Make a slurry by mixing cornstarch and water. Bring drippings to a boil, whisk in slurry, and simmer until thickened into gravy.

Notes
- Let roast come to room temperature before cooking for even results.
- Use a meat thermometer to avoid overcooking.
- Resting the roast keeps it juicy when sliced.
